The climate of Southern Nebraska and

HEARTLEss CRUELTY

it is TO delude poor sufferer into the belief
that some worthless liniment will cure rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture ofproprietarya ar
ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for it even all its merit would war
rant has not little to do with Its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and infames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. Ii takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action of the
muscles and limbers the stiffness of the
joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and, if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.
Decatur, Ill.
Twill Just say for the good of any per-
son that may be afflicted with rheumatism
that | have had it very severely, and have
used Athlophoros and found relief almost
at the first dose. SD. McCLELLAND.
Rev. A. T. Orr, pastor of the NJ. E.
Church, Paris, Ill, says: "Yes, ! used
Athlophoros for neuralgia in the back part
of my head. 1t was a very painful and dis
tressing complaint, but dose or two of
Athlophoros always gave immediate relief
am now entirely free from the complaint.
Many times ! would have been incapaci-
tated for duty had l not had Athlophoros.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co, III Wall St, New York, will
send either Carriage paidl on receipt of
regular price, which is Sl00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases. dyspepsia, in
digestion, weakness. nervous debility, diseases
